the dreams of drug addicts

A perfect circle

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
(Imagine all the people sharing all the world)
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

So if you keep up on my reading my sporadic blog you would know I always have dreams and on occasion i post about them. I had one that I find really strange so I will post it.

Its night time and I am in a huge line of people outside of a very large building (think old Chicago post office over the Eisenhower exp.). This line is huge so much so that there is scaffolding put up to redirect the lines over themselves to maximize the usable space. We are all being corraled into this huge building. Inside the building there are all kinds of police but they are in more military looking uniforms. Outside there are tons of bright lights and helicoptors with spotlights shining everywhere. The whole time I am wondering why I was draged out of my bed by these police people in these new blue uniforms to this place. Everyone I ask has no idea why we are here but everytime someone trys to run away they are "taken down" by the police and dragged to where I assume is Jail. After a very long time I see that the line I am in is going inside the building. Once I get to one of the military police people attending at what looks like a podium they ask me my name, if i was ever in the military , what my date of birth is and if i know my SSN. They reprint up all these documents in a matter of moments and hand them to me and tell me to hang on to them. I am then told to report to number 17. I get the idea that this is the highest number in their scheeme and that is not a good thing to report to that number. As I walk all the way to the back of this giant wearhouse full of people I know this is happening all over this building and there must be thousands of people here. When I get to the back of this huge room i see number 17 and there is only two people sitting under this number. Funny to find out its my 30 year old brother and my 15 year old neice. He sees me, laughs and says that what ever is happening its gotta be bad that us three are stuck under the same number (we are the strongest psychics in our family). My neice is scared but she can see the future and seems to be pretty at ease that we are going to be fine. Then i say I am going to go see who else we know in the lines since I have not checked into my line and I go. I end up seeing my other neice and nephew and my other sister michelle and then i keep getting told to find renee. She is my youngest sister as the dream ends with us beeing put on rail cars or in trucks like we are all being sent to concentration camps. Concentration camps for mutants or freaks. Then i wask up feeling like my sister is gone. pretty shitty feeling i think.

Nutritional information about the thyroid

http://www.ithyroid.com/thyroid_theory.htm

Vitamins are essential to facilitate mineral metabolism and proteins and lipids combine with minerals to form the essential biological chemicals that the body needs. A vitamin, protein, or lipid deficiency can result in a mineral deficiency. To correct a mineral deficiency causes by a vitamin, protein, or lipid deficiency, not only must the vitamin, protein, or lipid be replenished, but the mineral must be also.
Because of the interaction of minerals, vitamins, proteins, and lipids, supplying the body with less than all four of these can result in deficiencies of the others. For example, we know that selenium is facilitated by vitamin E. Taking excessive amounts of supplemental vitamin E without also taking selenium can result in the body becoming deficient in selenium.
Likewise copper metabolism is facilitated by vitamin C. Taking excessive amounts of vitamin C without also supplementing copper can deplete the body of copper. Replenishing the copper requires some, but not an excessive amount of vitamin C. It also requires the presence of all the other nutrients necessary for copper metabolism.
Also taking excessive amounts of one mineral can deplete other minerals. Here is an example I've seen in several people. Hemoglobin production requires two key minerals, iron and copper, along with many vitamins, proteins, and lipids. A deficiency of iron will cause iron-deficiency anemia. A deficiency of copper will cause copper-deficiency anemia. Both minerals are necessary.
If a person takes an excessive amount of iron without copper, copper will become deficient and the person will become anemic. Many people go to a doctor and are found anemic. Usually the doctor will prescribe massive doses of iron, sometimes as much as 200 milligrams per day (about 15 mgs. per day is adequate). Then the doctor is surprised because the anemia doesn't go away. If this iron supplementation is continued then copper becomes so deficient that the person will develop a thyroid disease.
Each vitamin facilitates the metabolism of one or more minerals. The B complex vitamins are very important in facilitating the metabolism of the trace minerals that are essential for bodily functions. Taking excessive amounts of B complex vitamins without an adequate supply of minerals can result in mineral deficiencies.
Because of the interactive effects between minerals, it is essential to keep minerals supplied in the proper balance. Likewise, it is essential to supply vitamins such as the B complex vitamins in the proper balance. Many nutritional experts warn about the problems that can result from taking some B vitamins without the others. They urge people to take a balanced B complex rather than individual B vitamins.
Taking individual B vitamins in unbalanced amounts causes problems because it disrupts the underlying mineral balance. Thus you can get a mineral unbalance in two ways: by ingestion minerals that aren't balanced and by ingesting vitamins that are unbalanced.
Supplementing vitamins and minerals is a powerful tool, but it is double-edged: you can quickly correct a nutritional deficiency with the use of supplements, but you can also quickly disrupt the balance of minerals.
As you will see later, I believe that hyperthyroidism is caused by an imbalance of minerals in the body. Some minerals are depleted and this causes major problems. Taking any one of a long list of nutrients can further deplete these deficient minerals and make hyperthyroidism worse. This is what most hyperthyroidism sufferers experience: most nutritional supplements make them worse.
Besides nutritional supplements we have to consider heavy metal toxicity. It appears to me that the danger from heavy metal toxicity is twofold: first, heavy metals replace and deplete essential metals from biological processes by mineral competition; and second, heavy metals are especially problematic because of their long half-life in the body. It seems that the heavier the metal the longer is stays in the body and the less it takes to cause disruption to nutrient balance.
Cadmium is a particularly toxic metal especially for the thyroid. Later we will look at how cadmium toxicity depletes zinc and copper and causes both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
This is a short introduction to my theories of the basic nutritional processes underlying deficiency diseases. The basic idea to remember is that nutrients need to be balanced and imbalances can cause further imbalances. Ingestion of imbalanced amounts of nutrients or toxic metals can disrupt the balance of nutrients required for proper health and endocrine function.
